Haha! That's awesome. Thank you for reading!

Even Philly’s crosswalks have hoagiemouth. We found out why for youse. “It feels like one of those many only-in-Philly things, of course even our crosswalks have a thick Philly accent.”

ICYMI over the weekend, I looked into why some of Philadelphia's Audible Pedestrian Signal systems at city crosswalks come wit the Philly accent.

Hahaha! I believe it.

Thank you so much! I love writing about Philadelphians. They're some of my favorite people. 😊

Even Philly’s crosswalks have hoagiemouth. We found out why for youse. “It feels like one of those many only-in-Philly things, of course even our crosswalks have a thick Philly accent.”

In my latest column, I dig into why Philadelphia's crosswalk audio announcements come wit the Philly accent.

“There’s not been a single person I’ve talked to that’s like ‘Oh yeah, that makes complete sense,’” said the reader who tipped me off.

Doing my first big LEGO build and I f’ed up and had to tear stuff up in order to rebuild.

I was frustrated and in the depths of my rage my husband, a huge LEGO fan, said: “See there are more lessons here than just LEGOs.”

He may not be wrong but he may also get a brick in the face.

This is a very good one!

Oh that is lovely! I've never been in but will have to go sometime now.

Exterior and interior!

Oh yes, 100%!

This view and staircase never gets old. I think it even rivals looking down the staircase at City Hall.

What are some other fantastic staircases in Philly?

👏

Alright, which one of you did this to my Wawa gas pump? 😑

I am flushed with pride that somebody featured in one of my Philly Phlush stories bought a high-quality print of the story from our website, got a nice frame for it, and hung it in their bathroom.

Folks, urine in luck because I will be taking all of your puns about this today. Pees and thank you.

Feeling cute, might use 'mellifluous' in a column like I'm an academic or romance novelist.

Me: “Push the crosswalk button please hun.”

Husband: “That is not a crosswalk button. It is a googly eye.”

Well played, Philly. Well played.

30 miniature horses are for sale in Gettysburg this weekend. Here’s what’s involved in owning one. Everything at Land of Little Horses animal theme park must go as the 55-year-old park closes.

I'll have to hunt down that show! Thanks!

Not in cages, but there was a young woman dancing on the end of the bar in a cute little outfit that looked straight out of Austin Powers.

That's one I've never been to, thanks!

Stopped into The Trestle Inn for the first time in years after a show an Underground Arts last week. I feel like I will never be cool enough for this bar, but I always feel cool when I’m in it.

What other Philly bars have similar vibes?
